How does the net metering rate option work?
This rate option allows eligible self-generators to feed their surplus power into the Hydro-Qubec grid in exchange for credits in kilowatthours. These credits are applied to the self-generator’s electricity bill. Inversely, if customers do not generate enough power for their needs, they can draw electricity from the grid and benefit from the reliability of Hydro-Qubec’s power supply. Aside from their electricity bill, payable by the due date, Hydro-Qubec sends its customers a statement with a detailed breakdown of the electricity they have consumed.
